[boblydon]

Jethro........ dont be sorry for asking the question, after all that is the only way you will find out the answer, we all probally asked a similer question at some time

 

[tala]

Do you lads up North call fresh blacks, runnydown also?
I thought it was only the salted down and frozen blacks that were called runnydown??
Still what do I know being a brainless smoggie

 

[Davyred]

Runnydown, yellowtails..all the same to me

 

[bribones]

always wonderd what runny was until a bloke gave me a couple up at blyth beach,big long flat things bout 10\" id say ,looked like theyd been soaked in something disgusting

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Known as runnydown coz they run back down to the bottom of the hook when baiting up if not whipped or pennelled.

 

[bribones]

on that note lol every bait i use must be runnydown

I think its only frozen lug thats called Runnydown,IMO.

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Aye that\'s my impression Alan

 

[IanW]

If I\'m after frozen then I ask for runnydown, otherwise I would ask for fresh blacks.

 

[alan]

never bought it to be honest always buy fresh,what sort of quantity do you get when you buy a pack

 

[willywetegg]

I would agree also. Runnydown is frozen.

Jim.

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

10 in a pack Alan for about £3 to £3.50 ,good bait to have in the freezer just in case.

 

[alan]

Cheers Steve,seen the price in the shops bit pricey for ten worms though !

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

BIG worms though Alan and a good cocktail bait ,handy if you fancy a chuck and you can\'t get fresh stuff ,I haven\'t tried eating them yet but they smell like good bait lol.

 

[alan]

suppose you pay £1.80 for fresh,might use two or three a chuck,probably not a bad price if you think about it

 

[DaveMason]

My understanding is runnydown is black lug that is nicked at the head and the guts squeezed out to be slightly salted and frozen , hence runnydown .

 

[TC]

Yep....runnydown = black lug which has been gutted & frozen

Fresh black lug is just known as....ermmmm.....fresh black lug
